Does it work if you add two Screen sections?  My current configuration in
a similar sort of setup is:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "nForce 760i SLI"
    BusID          "PCI:4:0:0"
    Screen         0
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device1"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "nForce 760i SLI"
    BusID          "PCI:4:0:0"
    Screen         1
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth   24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth      24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen1"
    Device         "Device1"
    Monitor        "Monitor1"
    DefaultDepth   24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth      24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

which has a lot more settings than are actually necessary, but may give
you an idea of what could work.
